LIQUID-DISTBIBUTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 10, 1906.

Application filed August 9,1905. Serial No. 273.349.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Louis PEROTTI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark,

- in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Liquid Distributers, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention pertains to improvemerits in liquid-distributers designed especially for the use in distilleries for filling bottles of various sizes with liquors, as well as for the distribution of liquld medicines in prescribed quantities.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which similar referencenumerals denote corresponding parts, and in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the distributer; Fig. 2, a detail thereof, showing the valve-body in longitudinal section; and Fig. 3 is a section throughlinewa; of Fig. 2.

As an example I will describe my liquiddistributor in connection with a barrel contlaining liquor which is to be charged in bott es.

1 represents the barrel; 2, its cock. 3 is a spherical transparent body or glass bulb, which may be made of any size to receive any desired quantity of the liquor to be distributed and may have a graduation 4 on its circumference. At two 0 posite sides of the bulb there may be hol ow necks 5 and 6. One of these hollow necks is adapted to be connected with the cock 2 of the barrel 1 and the other with the bottle 7 to be filled with the liquid.

The parts 8 8, connecting one of the necks 5 with the cock 2 of the barrel 1 and on the opposite end of the bulb with the bottle, consist of a hollow rubber body or such of any other suitable elastic material. The ends of the same are open and adapted to be slipped over the ends of the parts which the said bodies are adapted to connect. In the present case one of the open ends of the rubber body 8 is slipped over the outer end of the cock 2 and its other over the end of the hollow neck 5. The body 8 is, with one of its open ends, slipped over the outer end of the opposite neck of the bulb-body and with its other end over the hollow neck of the bottle to be filled.

At a suitable point, preferably in the center, said bodies 8 8 are provided each with a valve 9, consisting of a circular disk of glass or any other suitable material, the size of which is equal to the size of the inner circumference of the rubber body at the res ective point. This disk valve is pivotally ed in the rubber body, so that 1t can be turned around an axis diametrically intersecting the same. On one side the pivot may have a knob to allow the turning of the valve from the outside. Normally the disk valve is adapted to lie in such a position that it Wlll fit with its circumference all around tightly against the walls of the rubber body, whereby the latter will be divided in two separate compartments, which will be tightly closed against each other. When the diskls turned under an angle substantiallya right angle to its normal position, two passages 10 10 (see Fig. 3) are formed, which establish a communication between the two compartments.

When the distributer is to be used for the distribution of medicine liquids, instead of one of the hollow necks there may be a nozzle or spout, which normally may be closed up by an ordinary stopper, while the other nec r is adapted to be connected with the bottle containing the liquid. In this case a single valve-body is necessary, which will connect the bottle with the glass bulb.

The arrangement described and shown is very simple and can be manufactured at low cost.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A liquid-distributer comprising a transparent hollow receptacle having a graduation on its circumference and hollow necks or nozzles, a hollow body of elastic material with open ends, said elastic body being adapted to be slipped over the necks of said rece tacle and over the ends of the parts which t e receptacle is to be connected with, a valve in said elastic body, said valve consisting of a circular disk of glass or the like, normally adapted to tightly fit with its circumference against the-walls of the elastic body, said cir cular disk being pivotally fixed in the elasticbody so as to be capable of turning around an axis diametrically intersecting, it, substantially and for the purpose as specified.

In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses LOUIS PE ROTTI.
